Sports reporters used to pride themselves on writing a well-crafted balanced report without the clear bias and partisanship that exists today. The quality of reporting went downhill when the PL and Sky appeared centre stage and some third rate hacks have contributed nothing more than oblivious determination to drag it further into the gutter than it now is. Hatchet jobs on clubs, particularly one I could mention, and individual players - Sterling is a classic example of how the RDAHMeedya got the knives in to the point where every fuckin' touch was booed by opposition fans who wouldn't have the faintest idea why they were booing. I also remember that moron Dirty Dan Wanker when he had the opportunity of fronting an FA Cup tie - Scunthorpe v MCFC became Scunny v The Money. Bastard.

I’d say the decline in printed media has contributed to the piss poor journalism out there. Having a set number of pages and creating the demand for a reader pay for it has been replaced by infinite numbers of articles about nothing being provided for free and funded by clicks. Any essay writer or blogger can get stuff published, I know a lad who got an article published in the evening news about how improved United were last season. He wasn’t to impressed when I torpedoed his theory highlighting they got exactly the same points as the season before.

The question is if it was 15-20 years ago when people still purchased papers, would we pay for the shite fan boy articles posted on daily on the internet we see today? Rupert Murdoch would be selling his printing plants and not bothering.

Nope dont pay for sky or BT, my son does so can watch City matches ;) but I wont give them any money. It boils my piss that I have to pay for the bbc.
I wouldnt mind paying for some of the bbc, my guilt pleasure is watch ' not going out ' !. But I hate the fact that I pay for the bbc hatred towards City.

Interesting thing about the press/media when I was a kid in the 70's. I very rarely saw anything about City in the press/media or on tv.

It was very local and living in kent you only heard of the London clubs, and The Big Match on sunday afternoon just covered London clubs.

My only news on City I would run home from school every Tuesday to read the football pink that my grandad would post down to us every Monday.

In fact most kids down saff didnt know City existed ! As City were call...you support ...... Man U City , the amount of fights I would get in by say no I support Man City not Man U City.

Mind you even commentators still call City , utd , bloody twats

Here’s what they’re like on commentary when you don’t usually get to see them.

Lolz at Neville’s reaction just after 2:40.

Wow, spit the dog is such an aggressive, nasty little man. He's absolutely determined to catch Neville s eye after the second goal but he won't give him the satisfaction.

Is it me or does spit look to have a healthy pallor at the start of the video but towards the end he looks like he's got seriously high blood pressure?

In the back end of the 80s when we were in the old division 2 you wouldn’t hear a mention of City, only on final score on Grandstand. We would get the evening news delivered and that was the only place you would hear about City, Kick Off on Friday nights would be the only time you would see any coverage of City. I do remember it was quite an event when we finally got picked for a live Sunday game on ITV and we got out arses handed to us 2-0 off Aston Villa. We got them back in the return fixture with Reidy though, what a day that was.

Are they raising awareness of the goal famine that is gripping Anfield? Maybe Sir Marcus of Rashford should lobby the government about it.

Imagine what it was like in Edinburgh!! The only occasional mention was when a Scottish player did something good ..or bad.

How Carragher still has a job after spitting on a young girl is beyond me, his defence that he was aiming for her father hardly helps.
As for Wio he was held in such respect at OT that the Stretford End booed him and chanted ," Chelsea rent boy," how employing these two charmers as pundits helps the image of TV sport I don't know.

He will retweet it if some one else puts it on social media as in the same way he done in the past. Boris will dither and get the Chancellor to allocate funds to 'Merseyside' to buy back Brewster
 
The Paul Tierney blowing up early for half time incident.Can you imagine the fall out if that had been against ANY other team ..Hardly gets a mention .
Total and utter hypocrits

Might be better if commentators got all their usual stat's out of the way before the game starts -
Aguero hasn't scored since 1066.
City's defence cost the same as the entire GDP of Burundi.
City have made their worst start to a sesaon since 1899.
The goals have dried up.
Now, can we get on with the game please?

I've never seen anyone 'channel' Martin Tyler so accurately before - bravo............
 
Disgusting

The headline on the back page of the daily mail shows Arsenal celebrating the first goal last night & bleats out about no hugging.

WHAT ?

A TV recording actually shows 8 of them hugging kissing & jumping on shoulders immediately before this foto.

This is lying & manipulation big style. It makes you think what do they do for the rags & dippers ?

Not only that but when we’re playing European teams the commentary feels like we’re the foreign side. Any other English club and the commentators become little Englanders for 90 minutes.

it often feels that way to me anyway, bit I’m very biased towards City so perhaps I’m just over critical and sensitive. I never watch rags or scousers so don’t know what their commentary is like, I just assume it reflects the written media sycophancy.

What your saying is absolutely correct. It really pisses me off that they actually do that to us and no other English team.

Remember when we sunk down to the old third division we actually got more tv coverage then we had in the premier now that could be that the media knew we had great support and that us fans would tune in or i suspect it was because they thought we might end up in the fourth division.
